No. For all the memes and fake nonsense, LLMs still give access to a swath of knowledge at a degree easier to access. The current kids using LLMs for questions are probably going to be quite a bit smarter than us
What are you talking about?
Hallucinations in LLMs are so common that you basically can't trust them with anything they tell you.
And if I have to fact-check everything an LLM spits out, I need to to the manual research anyways.
I don't really think that's a bad thing when you really think about it. Teaching kids "No matter how confident someone is about what they tell you, it's a good idea to double check the facts" doesn't seem like the worst thing to teach them.
I believe there's a better way to teach people that without consuming the electricity of a small country.
